Remember the stealth genre?

I'm not talking about levels like snooping around enemy encampments in Far Cry or Battlefield 1 - I'm not even talking about Metal Gear Solid V and its penchant for letting you toast a roomful of goons with a wayward electric cable.

No, I'm talking about Splinter Cell's first trilogy, Hitman pre-Absolution. I'm talking Tenchu, Shinobido, Mark of the Ninja - games where you're hopelessly outnumbered and must rely on dispatching your foes one by one using a mix of slick stealth kills and perhaps the occasional gadget.

Enter Aragami, a love letter to that late 2000s time in everything from game mechanics to enemy A.I patrol patterns. You play the titular 'warrior spirit' out to aid another character on the path of reveng- look, it's an excuse to let you kill tons of enemies in a range of fancy ways, okay?

You get a ton of shadow-based supernatural powers, can kill from almost any angle and look like Spawn if he was owned from FromSoftware. Aragami may not have the big budget of a Metal Gear or new-age Splinter Cell, but if you know your Rikimarus from your Irving Lamberts, it'll be right up your alley.
